A pilot complex at Bratsk gas condensate filed (Irkutsk region) has been commissioned on December 25. It will supply blue-sky fuel for paper-pulp industry, municipal transport and utility facilities in Bratsk as well as few towns in Irkutsk region.
The reserves of Bratsk gas condensate field are estimated as 10.7 BBCM of gas and 1.4 MMT of gas condensate. Once the field achieves the design capacity the annual gas production will be 430 MMCM.
